SMU Game thread

[buddy]

You're one of the bright one's on this board. This conference sucks !!!! The projects will continue as long as we remain in the great AAC

If the conference is so bad, why is SMU seem so good? Why is UConn mediocre in this conference in most sports? Why is Gonzaga, who is in a horrible conference always competitive?Wichita State? Villanova in the new BE? Can't blame the conference. We all hate it, but it is not the conference's fault.

Purvis continues to be a turnover machine.

take the starters out...except Boatright...other players are embarrassing themselves...

 

[MadisonSquare Gordon]

Game, blouses.

 

[Matrim55]

It's complete horse s---, though.

Naw.

[SubbaBub]

Cmon, we still have the late run to cut to 8 to look forward to.

Omar aside from a 3 game stretch where he appeared to be back to Freshman form has completely reverted back to Sophomore form. Looks lost again.

I just hope we take SMU to the woodshed Tulsa style.

Really don't think SMU is that good. We are struggling but it's not because of anything SMU is doing.

Serious question...I never watched many of the games under Calhoun in the early 2000's, became a die hard fan when I enrolled at UConn.

My question is what was the offense like under Calhoun? Ollie runs NBA sets, seemingly trying to give guards freedom to attack, almost like an iso offense, however with none of our players besides Boat able to create a shot for themselves it often looks stagnant.

They are manhandling us in the paint (any team with bigs who are a presence give us problems bc of foul trouble), getting any shot they want, and forcing us to take terrible shots but it's not anything they're doing?? What is it then

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

this is just atrocious

 

[ATLDYKA]

Ollie just needs to bench them all.

 

[David 76]

No, they're not. SMU is a talented team at home, amped the duck* up, and are coached by the best Xs & Os coach in the history of the game. We're just getting beat, we're not wilting.

The good thing about these SMU games is that they're like a master's course for Ollie. He's going to learn from Brown taking him out behind the woodshed, just like he learned from it last year.

The only problem is that if we lose this one (which I think we will), we'll need to beat them in the AAC tourney to make the NCAAs. I don't love our chances, but oh well. This is our down year.

Sorry Matrim. Good team but we wilted.

Haha wow nic Moore couldn't be more a db.

 

[BlueDogs]

Embarrassing performance. Team is undisciplined, lacks intensity and has no mettle. Feel bad for Boat. His teammates have a different ethic.

 

[JLock819]

Who saw the ref just laughing and smiling with SMU in their huddle under the rim

 

[Towney007]

Offense is frustrating. Defense is worse tonight.

 

[pnow15]

Every game it seems like Purvis catches the ball on the wing and as he drives to the hoop steps out of bounds. Got to know where you are on the floor.

Would love to see replay to see if he actually was out of bounds. I don't not trust these refs at all.

Unforced errors are not SMUs doing. Nor are fouls that eliminate uconn's entire below average front court.

That little display was right in front of the ref. If that isn't taunting...

Might want to look up where last year's final four was.
